    Question for Tyson drivers ... Do you ever haul to the retail stores like Church's or Popeys? Seems like I've seen Tyson company trucks doing these store deliveries at various times in the past and that's not something I'd want any part of. Maybe they were some sort of "local" drivers running out of nearby cold-storage facilities???

    Does Tyson do trailer washouts "in-house" at Plants or do drivers get them done at truck washes before dropping at the plants?

    Thanks.

    I am a trainer @ Tyson, been here for 4 years now. In that time there has only been 1 load that I HAD to unload. They will pay you to unload if you choose but usually not as much as they pay the lumpers.

    I read here that Tyson was all automatics, but that they might get sticks again. Does anybody know if that's happened yet, or if it will? (Wilkesboro, NC in particular)

    I'm not even in school yet, but Tyson is a place I'd like to work. But I can't even imagine driving an automatic. I suppose it wouldn't hurt anything, and would be easier, but something about an automatic truck grinds my gears. :biggrin_25523:
